With so many new people who don't know what they're doing, that doesn't strike me as odd, actually.
It's also entirely possible that your server didn't federate fully with those account(s) yet.
Yeah, the creator of this site indeed has stated that many times over the years. Got in some disputes over this too.
But you know what, if you actually manage to change his mind I'll be very very grateful. See, Qoto (the server I'm on) actually has Quote-Toots available, almost since the beginning of the Fediverse. And Qoto gets a lot of shit for having it and even gets blocked by other servers for having this feature.
So if vanilla Mastodon actually will get QT, which I doubt but hey, there is even less reason to shitpile onto Qoto. So I'm not against that feature, far from it. But I just highly doubt it'll ever happen.
@TomDelargy
What do you mean 'vanished into thin air'? That's still visible on the old instance and you can link to there. The old account won't get deleted, it'll show 'this user has moved to <new instance>'.
Don't count on vanilla Mastodon (which mastodon.social is at) ever getting proper QTs, so either you accept that, or you move. That's the only option you have.
@fribbledom Considering the IQ you need to watch the average sitcom I think that's already happening.
@TomDelargy
I dunno, if quote posts were so important to him he can move to a server that already supports it?
There are modified Mastodon instances supporting QTs, and there are non-Mastodon instances that already supports QT from the beginning.
@lydiaconwell I find that blocking in essence doesn't always make people stop see your posts, unless they're on the same instance. That's my experience.
@gpowerf Woo! Grats!
@EubieDrew
I've complained to @freemo about this avatar issue before, yeah. Haven't really used Discourse much. Planned to, but life got in the way and I find it a cumbersome site. :P
@WyWyWa She might be overqualified. ;)
So far I treat Horizon Zero Dawn a bit the same as Skyrim questing-wise... avoid the main quest as long as possible until you run out of side-quests. 😋
There's a difference.. you can actually run out of side-quests in HZD! No endless radiant questing system here. ;)
Graphics-wise this game's gorgeous. I just wish the FOV could be a bit bigger.

@szescstopni Do squirrels bark?
@freemo @mandaroza @peterdrake
I'd say we dropped from a few thousand new users every week to about a hundred max now.
Still better than pre-twittermigration levels. We have plenty of room for growth.
@favus What? I thought that was a fairly new series, I was yet to watch it...
Is it still worth watching despite it being cancelled?
@peterdrake
Good points there. And I'd suggest that we just leave out that last sentence anyway as the list is dynamic.
@sgryphon Looking at that makes my teeth fall off spontaneously. Whee!
@hvangalen Yup. But so far they're doing a shitty job of it. Create account, put spammy profile text in... and that's it. That's the majority of those silly spam accounts. Nobody would ever look at those, heh. But it sure fills up our usercount. :P
@hvangalen You can safely remove like 1M as spam accounts in my experience. Still a lot though.
@lucifargundam Have you actually done the 5-year wait? :P
@JonKramer There'll be more in the coming time. Depends on how bored I feel. ;) Most of those are dormant spam accounts.
Main account is now on @trinsec
I've resigned as moderator on Qoto.org since 29-aug-2023.
This one is now a backup account, my activities on Qoto will be low.

Used to be on another mastodon server regularly, but it's been inaccessible since November 2020. So I've decided to join Qoto instead! I like the features this server has to offer.
